Ok, i hate to be the new guy that comes to a board and posts "We make this product" however... We make this product... ;) It started out trying to make something neat for our Escalade, and turned into a full on 'every body we knew wanted one in their style'...

so here they are...

Looks good. :thumbs:

 

No flame, but did you check with the site admin?

 

I only ask because we do have site sponsors that carry similar products, and they might not appreciate it.

 

Good looking setup. :P

also looks like the bentlys arnage...

looks like many hot rod products.

 

i may be a newbie here, but com'mon, we dont have to be mean. If the product looks bad in your opinion, i understand, but we were asked if this product can be put in to street trucks new build up. and we are featured products for truckin and sport truckin. Plus the only Truck related product listed on the dupont registry site ...

 

someone likes it.

thanks for your replies though, I did ask for comments but i thought we would all be a little more civilized than to say 'eww'... if you dont like something, just say 'its not for me'

yeah newbies will buy anything......

Come on the newbie thing isn't called for... I happen to think it doesn't look bad as a matter of fact I have seen much worse looking mods IE the billet gas filler door and somehow others seem to think it looks cool go figure. It's all a matter of opinion. Like some used car salesmen trying to sale me a purple S10 years ago said after I commented on how gay the truck looked, "There’s a different seat to fit every A$$". LOL To each his own! You don't like it that's cool I do and that’s cool too!

 

 

Crispix396 great job looks like it fits perfect! I personally have been looking for an Escalade trim piece however it’s nice to see other options.

atomoverride, who died and left you in charge? I see you busting people's chops for the prices they want for their parts and here a guy makes a part and you bust on him with your"expert" opinion. What are you...13 years old? Why don't you just say "it's not my taste" and let it go at that. That took some skill to make that dash insert so what have you produced for these trucks? Give it a rest!

thanks for the support, i dont ask people to love everything. but even with music, someone wrote it, and pt their heart into it, you dont ahve to listen to it, but at least respect it.

 

each peice of 12x17 has almost 3500 litle machined cirlcles, and is laser cut out, and painted with 2 clear coats of automotive paint to provide a high gloss. then we disect the bezels and attach the peices inside it.

 

as far as the escalade peice, here is a photo of that

Check your post count, before you call people newbies.

Yep.

 

The dash peices look nice. As gmcjoe said, very Trans Am-like.

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Texas Gasser · Posted

      My truck is a 2024 2500 LT crew cab with the 6.6 gas engine and 10 speed trans.  It has a payload of 3578 lbs.  We pull a 22' Grand Design 17MKE that has dry weight of 5006 lbs. and a gross weight of 6395 lbs.  The trailer weighs about 5800 lbs. when loaded up with all the gear.  I don't fill the water tank for travel as most of our trips are to state parks that are within a day's drive.  Depending on the wind I get anywhere from 7.5 to 9 mpg.  I do use a weight distribution hitch (WDH) and have no problems with sway or being pulled/pushed side to side by 18-wheelers passing by me.  The trailer is about the same length of the truck so that helps a lot.  I say that because we traded in our 33' Grand Design 2670 MK (7800 lbs. loaded with gear) and using the same WDH, it would get pulled side to side by big trucks passing by me. It was not bad, but you needed to stay alert and know when a big truck was pulling up beside you.  I got about 7 to 8 mpg pulling that trailer.  I normally drive about 65 to 67 mph when pulling.  Overall, I love the payload capability of the truck as I doubt I will ever get close to its limit and I love the stability it offers over a half ton truck while pulling a trailer.  I have just over 30000 miles on the truck and have not had any issues.  We live in Texas where it is relatively flat, just windy.

      I will say though that the 5.00 a gallon for only one fuel stop while on the Number 1, that privilege of driving from the point of Paso Robles ( where I fueled up before crossing to the coast ) and all the way up ... across the Golden Gate where I stopped and walked on the bridge ( and someone jumped off the bridge opposite the side I was on ... never saw it happen but the tow truck/paramedic told me ) and continued on north back onto No 1 and all the way up to where it connects to 101 and also explored some of the Red Woods although had been through some of that before. The fantastic view of that scenic ocean route was most certainly worth the extra dollars I spent on fuel. Just prior to that I had driven through Death Valley and that was some experience in the middle of July, then spent a couple of days in Yosemite and hiked to the top of Half Dome. The summer of 2007 was very memorable for what I saw and experienced in California.

      Really depends on what extent the towing is.  Are you going across the country on highways or to fairly local campgrounds?  If you're just local towing then I wouldn't derate your truck much, just make sure the weight of your trailer and equipment stays below your limit.  Which for my truck is 14500lbs bumper pull.  Yeah it will work hard when you're over 5 figures in weight but who cares if it is just say 50 miles.    In my opinion the main thing with towing campers is wind resistance.  My 3200lb single axle camper tows fairly hard for what it is due to the wind.  But then if I use my truck to tow a family members 8000lb camper it doesn't really feel any different as wind resistance is similar. I've also towed a 5000lb airstream and it barely felt like anything was there.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      I think the excitement has run its course. Or, probably need a break from the truck for a few days.   Win some, lose some, again. There was still a coolant weep from the front of the engine. This time it was one of those worm-drive hose clamps on the upper hose connecting to the water neck. There's a reason the factory doesn't use those type of clamps; they suck. The hose is all distorted and flared at the end from someone over-tightening it. The water neck just needed to be cleaned, hose seated, and have a *good* hose clamp put on, if the hose wasn't so mangled.   Thought I'd kill two birds with one stone and try to diagnose the EGR issue. It's likely a failed EGR but before I spent $85 on the part I wanted to make sure ports weren't clogged or the pintle wasn't stuck. It was kind of a bugger to remove with the upper intake installed. Re-install (because I wanted to drive it) proved more difficult.   Per the stack of service paperwork, the EGR has already been replaced 4 times since 1996.   It would reason, then, that the EGR flange on the lower intake manifold has had its share of techs trying to work quickly and maybe one of them seated a bolt slightly cross-threaded at one time. The bolt didn't come out without significant effort and tried as I did, it wouldn't go in without significant effort. And then, the mounting ear on the right side of the EGR (lower intake casting) cracked, and crumbled off. $%&@!!!   I hate everything. Or, at least, I did in that moment. I was pretty calm, considering. This is what older, junky vehicles do. They nickel and dime their owners, piss them off, and things break that shouldn't break because of shoddy design/workmanship, poorly done repairs.   If I want to make it right, I'll need to replace the lower intake manifold and basically re-do everything I spent days doing. At least it should go quicker this time, right?! Looks like a lower intake (used/junk, of course) will run me about $150.   Once I get the new EGR, I'll see if I can bolt it up snug enough to verify proper operation, and if it solves the persistent CEL that sets on decel for EGR flow, I'll know I'm back on the right track. And then I can decide how to proceed.   Also, an idler pulley has given up. It began squeaking in pain on startup. It's clear this truck hasn't been thoroughly driven in a long, long time as things are just letting go and shaking out. I may have given it the beans once or twice to make sure my intake gaskets were doing their job. Flog an old vehicle, expect what it gives in return.
